Advertising:
"American businesses spend over $130 billion on advertising each year; Worldwide, $620 billion is spent on marketing annually." (Walch 2003)

"The average American sees about 3,000 ads a day. . . Much, but not all, of the advertising directed toward females tells them that they need to worry about their looks, worry about their weight, and obey males." (ibid)
